Technological advances in LED (Light Emitting Diode) lighting are happening at an incredible pace. The technology is now permeating every area of our lives, from traffic lights and car headlights to laptop computers.

Lighting represents an average of 21% of a building's total energy consumption (Department of Energy and Climate Change, UK, July 2011) and accounts for 19% of global energy production. It is estimated to be responsible for around 6% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
